Oakland A’s 2020 ALDS: Jesús Luzardo will start Game 3, but not Zack Greinke

The Oakland A’s are on the ropes. They dropped the first two games of the 2020 ALDS to the Houston Astros, which means they’ll have to win the next three in a row to avoid elimination and move on to the next round.

They’ll look to begin that comeback in Game 3, and they’ll turn to pitcher Jesús Luzardo to make the start, the team announced.

Meanwhile, the Houston Astros were expected to call on veteran ace Zack Greinke, but the right-hander is dealing with arm soreness and will sit out, reports insider Brian McTaggart.
